The game is already up for pre-orders on Battle.net, and the offer is still on the table where anyone who signs up for an Annual Pass to World of Warcraft gets a free copy of Diablo III. Blizzard states on their website, 'Beginning May 15, players around the world will be able to return to Tristram to discover the dark secrets of a fallen star and begin their quest to save Sanctuary from the impending demonic invasion. To secure your place as a barbarian, monk, demon hunter, witch doctor, or wizard right now, simply log in to your Battle.net account, and then purchase and download* Diablo III, and you’ll be ready to play when the game launches.'
